The J.R. Ryland Computer Company is considering a plant expansion to enable the company to begin production of a new computer product. The companys president must determine whether to make the expansion a medium- or large-scale project. Demand for the new product is uncertain, which for planning purposes may be low demand, medium demand, or high demand. The probability estimates for demand are 0.20, 0.50, and 0.30, respectively. Letting x and y indicate the annual profit in thousands of dollars, the firms planners developed the following profit forecasts for the medium-and large-scale expansion projects. a. Compute the expected value for the profit associated with the two expansion alternatives. Which decision is preferred for the objective of maximizing the expected profit? b. Compute the variance for the profit associated with the two expansion alternatives. Which decision is preferred for the objective of minimizing the risk or uncertainty?
Return on Investment and Economic Value Added Calculations with Varying Assumptions Knitpix Products is a division of Parker Textiles Inc. During the coming year, it expects to earn income of 310,000 based on sales of 3.45 million. Without any new investments, the division will have average operating assets of 3 million. The division is considering a capital investment projectadding knitting machines to produce gaitersthat requires an additional investment of 600,000 and increases net income by 57,500 (sales would increase by 575,000). If made, the investment would increase beginning operating assets by 600,000 and ending operating assets by 400,000. Assume that the actual cost of capital for the company is 7%. (Note: Round all answers to four decimal places.) Required: 1. Compute the ROI for the division without the investment. 2. Compute the margin and turnover ratios without the investment. Show that the product of the margin and turnover ratios equals the ROI computed in Requirement 1. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the ROI for the division with the new investment. Do you think the divisional manager will approve the investment? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the margin and turnover ratios for the division with the new investment. How do these compare with the old ratios? 5. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the EVA of the division with and without the investment. Should the manager decide to make the knitting machine investment?
Suppose you are analyzing a firm that is successfully executing a strategy that differentiates its products from those of its competitors. Because of this strategy, you project that next year the firm will generate 6.0% revenue growth from price increases and 3.0% revenue growth from sales volume increases. Assume that the firms production cost structure involves strictly variable costs. (That is, the cost to produce each unit of product remains the same.) Should you project that the firms gross profit will increase next year? If you project that the gross profit will increase, is the increase a result of volume growth, price growth, or both? Should you project that the firms gross profit margin (gross profit divided by sales) will increase next year? If you project that the gross profit margin will increase, is the increase a result of volume growth, price growth, or both?
Company A has current sales of $10,000,000 and a 45% contribution margin. Its fixed costs are $3,000,000. Company B is a service firm with current service revenue of $5,000,000 and a 20% contribution margin. Company Bs fixed costs are $500,000. Compute the degree of operating leverage for both companies. Which company will benefit most from a 25% increase in sales? Explain why.
Cost-Volume-Profit, Margin of Safety Victoria Company produces a single product. Last years income statement is as follows: Required: 1. Compute the break-even point in units and sales dollars calculated using the break-even units. 2. What was the margin of safety for Victoria last year in sales dollars? 3. Suppose that Victoria is considering an investment in new technology that will increase fixed cost by 250,000 per year but will lower variable costs to 45% of sales. Units sold will remain unchanged. Prepare a budgeted income statement assuming that Victoria makes this investment. What is the new break-even point in sales dollars, assuming that the investment is made?
Average rate of returncost savings Maui Fabricators Inc. is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of 125,000 with a 15,000 residual value and an eight-year life. The equipment will replace one employee who has an average wage of 28,000 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of 5,150 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.
Banyan Industries has two divisions, a tax rate of 30%, and a minimum rate of return of 20%.

Division B has a weighted average cost of capital of 9.5% and is looking at a new project that will generate a profit of $1,350,000 from a machine that costs $5,000.000. A. Calculate the EVA for each of Banyans divisions. B. Calculate the RI for each of Banyans division. C. If Banyan uses EVA to evaluate the projects, which division has the better project and by how much? D. If Banyan uses RI, which division has the better project and by how much? E. What are some of the reasons for the similarity or difference that you found in the use of EVA versus RI?
Marchete Company produces a single product. They have recently received the results of a market survey that indicates that they can increase the retail price of their product by 8% without losing customers or market share. All other costs will remain unchanged. Their most recent CVP analysis is shown. If they enact the 8% price increase, what will be their new break-even point in units and dollars?
Break-even sales under present and proposed conditions Portmann Company, operating at full capacity, sold 1,000,000 units at a price of 188 per unit during the current year. Its income statement is as follows: The division of costs between variable and fixed is as follows: Management is considering a plant expansion program for the following year that will permit an increase of 11,280,000 in yearly sales. The expansion will increase fixed costs by 5,000,000 but will not affect the relationship between sales and variable costs. Instructions 1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year. 2. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year. 3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year. 4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year. 5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the 60,000,000 of operating income that was earned in the current year. 6. Determine the maximum operating income possible with the expanded plant. 7. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the operating income or loss be for the following year? 8. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal? Explain.
